One For Every Month

One, two, three, four
How I adore the motion,
The novelty of ecstasy.
The experimentation of different sizes,
Different positions,
Leave me warm and breathless
For more.

Five, six
It hurts.
Stripped of my own being
Like in the memory of
Strobe lights flashing
During a slide show,
I crawl into a corner of shame,
Unable to sit upright.

Seven
I think you're the one!
In and out of the house,
My eyes are always starry.
The experienced profession
Of an older man
Keeps me going.

Eight, nine
Warmed by rum,
I recklessly spread loose.
There's nothing anymore,
But like a bona fide slut,
I proudly add to my list.

Seven again
Am I still in love?
The excitement isn?t there anymore,
But I'm starved and dying of thirst.
I need the familiarity of pretense
To appease my needs.

Ten
I am made a leader.
Guiding my friend
Through the path
Walked only once in a lifetime,
I show him the collections
Of my landmarks.



Eleven
Made dry,
I try to add a sweetener,
But like a fruit unpreserved,
I rot bitterly on the ground,
Watching the newly broken virgins
Retain their innocence.

Seven
You're no longer lucky seven.
Evolving into a slave,
I stay awake longer
Wondering why,
After a good session
I'm still crawling around for crumbs.

Twelve
You don't exist just yet,
But I can hope
That I'll finally reach my destination-
An explosion in the black hole.
